HTML Legend with Status Checking...<BR><BR></FONT></DIV>Same thing. Now
I don't have group header bars seperating my layers, but all the layers still
show up and when I click on a layer that has scale-specific classes, the
symbols for all scales still show up. By the way, I'm on Mapserver 3.6.1
and here's the page to go to if you want to see what I'm talking
about:<BR><BR><A class=moz-txt-link-freetext
href="http://cnrit.tamu.edu/maps/map_init.html">http://cnrit.tamu.edu/maps/map_init.html</A><BR><BR>Click
on the very last button on that page (the one that says "FRAMES VERSION" on
it). When the map shows up, expand the "Regional" folder on the
left-hand side to display those layers. The one that I'm working on
right now is called "Parima Survey Households". Click on that layer to
load it into the map, then you'll see the various symbols I'm referring to
show up in the legend. I represent the Parima households with red
triangle symbols and I have different sized triangles depending on how far
zoomed in you are so that they are small at a high scale and larger as you
zoom in...but I don't want all versions of that symbol to show up in my legend
all the time...just the one that's in scale.<BR><BR>Thanks
again!<BR><BR>Martin, Daniel wrote:<BR>

Re: [mapserver-users] HTML Legend with Status
Checking...<BR><BR></FONT></DIV>Gladly. Here is my legend
code:<BR><BR>[leg_group_html]<BR>
<tr><BR> <td colspan=3
bgcolor=#cccccc><b>[leg_group_name]</b></td><BR>
</tr><BR>[/leg_group_html]<BR><BR>[leg_layer_html]<BR>[/leg_layer_html]<BR><BR>[leg_class_html]<BR>

height=15><BR>
</td><BR>
<td><BR>
[leg_class_name]<BR>
</td><BR> </tr><BR>[/leg_class_html]<BR><BR><BR>However,
it does not work as you say (and as the documentation on the web page
says!). Layers that are "off" do not show up (that's as expected and
what I want), that's fine, but layers that are out of SCALE DO show up,
and that's not as expected and that's not as the documentation states and
that's NOT what I want. For example, I have a layer called
Ethiopia_Rivers...here's what it looks like:<BR><BR>LAYER<BR> NAME
"Ethiopia_Rivers"<BR> TYPE LINE<BR> STATUS off<BR> GROUP
Ethiopia<BR> DATA "ethiopia_rivers"<BR> HEADER
'ethiopia_rivers.shp_header.html'<BR>
CLASS<BR> MAXSCALE
8710165<BR> Name 'Ethiopia
Rivers'<BR> COLOR 102 204
255<BR> TEMPLATE
ethiopia_rivers.shp_query.html<BR> END #
CLASS<BR>END # LAYER<BR><BR>Now, when I'm viewing my map at full
extent, my scale factor is 1:<FONT size=3><B> 20136789</B></FONT>,
therefore if I click on the Ethiopia_Rivers layer at that zoom level,
nothing shows up in the map. This is the exact behavior that I would
expect...I'm out of scale for that layer, so it doesn't show up in the map
until I zoom in. The PROBLEM, however, is that the "Ethiopia Rivers"
icon and label pop up in my legend...this is counter-intuitive, contrary
to the documented behavior of Mapserver, and just flat-out frustrating!
If the layer is not showing up in my map (because it's out of
scale), then it should NOT be in my legend either. Grrrr!!!
Pardon me for sounding bitter...I'm not lashing out at you, I'm very
grateful for your help, I'm just frustrated at
Mapserver.<BR><BR>Thanks!<BR><BR>Martin, Daniel wrote:<BR>
